Important facts and historical information about UPS
United Parcel Service began life as the American Messenger Company. Founded in 1907, this private delivery service operated in and around Seattle – long before the creation of the United States Parcel Post System. In the early days of the company’s operation, the biggest customers were department stores in Seattle, many of which would lend the American Messenger Company vehicles so deliveries could be made safely and quickly. The company’s first vehicle wasn’t bought until 1913 — seven years after the founding of the company. But by 1919, business was booming, and a service was introduced in Oakland, California. The name of the company was changed to the United Parcel Service, and one of the world’s most recognizable delivery companies was born. UPS pioneered the consolidated delivery model that delivered parcels and packages around a specific area of a city using a single vehicle.
UPS was growing quickly by 1922, prompting the acquisition of a local delivery company in Los Angeles. The company began to introduce a range of new cutting-edge services during the 1920s, including the automatic return of undeliverable items, cash on delivery, daily collection calls and weekly billing. Word was spreading about the reliability and effectiveness of UPS, and by 1930 the company had launched their exceptional range of services in New York City. More East Coast cities followed, and the original eagle logo was replaced with the UPS name in 1937. During the 1970s, services were launched in Canada and Germany, and several other countries soon followed.
UPS today is one of the largest companies in the world. In 2013 alone, the company delivered more than 4 billion packages, and generated revenues in excess of $55 billion. Every home and business premises in North America and Europe is now within the reach of the UPS service, and more than 9 million people either send or receive packages with UPS every day. UPS has accumulated a huge network of delivery vehicles over the years, which includes more than 380 chartered aircraft and over 230 UPS branded aircraft.
